Holding space often gets confused with fixing what is or feels wrong.
Although I have genuinely held space for others and myself countless times, I have been guilty of offering solutions to someone who didn't need that in the moment. They wanted me to simply be there.
Who you are in that moment of space holding can be the difference between someone coming back to you for confiding or not. Who they are in that moment determines if you will go back to them to be there for you.
Paying attention to how silence requires attention just as much as words do is part of holding space.
This episode of the Who We Become podcast will help you understand the difference between what holding space is and isn''t.
